Chapter 193 You Will Save Her, Wont You (2/2)

She tried to sneak away, but it was too late. Once Victor heard the girl's words, he stretched his long leg and caught Emily immediately.

”What are you doing here?” asked Victor.

Emily had no valid explanation, but she definitely sensed nervousness in Victor's tone. ”... Nothing. I was just wandering around,” she replied.

”Let me walk you back right now,” said Victor.

”Never mind. I can walk back by myself. Don't worry. There's nowhere I can run. Why don't you go back to the girl inside...” Before Emily could f

up on her. All he needed was a small opportunity. Meanwhile, in his search for a suitable heart, Victor ended up wandering along secret places that were beyond the regulations of the law.

Never did he imagine, that he would come across Emily being auctioned to the Dark Area. Even Victor couldn't deny that it was like an Act of God.

'Jacob, don't blame me for this. It's you that failed to keep your woman safe!'

When he was presented with the opportunity, Victor spared no expenses and straight away bought her at the auction without any hesitation. So long as Anne could be cured, money was no matter for him. Even if it had bankrupted him, he would pay any price for her heart!

At that moment, Emily looked at Victor with a convoluted expression. She couldn't find the words to respond to him.

”So, your heart, is mine now,” he asserted. Victor sounded confident, gently, as he continued,”You will help her, won't you?”

Victor's words were hypnotic, as it seemed to have the magic to compel people to act against their own will.

Emily, however, bit her lip hard and shook her head determinedly. ”Sorry, I can't,” she said.

Emily understood that her life didn't just belong to her only. She had a responsibility towards her parents. After all, they had raised her since she was a child. But most importantly, she owed her life to Jacob, who had saved her life countless times without even hesitating... If the circumstances were any different, she could have offered herself to save Anne's life.

However... she had her parents, her friends, her career and... the man she loved dearly! Emily wanted to live for them!
